Accessing Reflow in a Web Browser

💡

Reflow can be accessed inside Workbench, but for the best experience, we recommend using Reflow inside a modern web browser.

Access URL:

The best way to access and use Reflow is inside a web browser. You can access Reflow from a web browser by following this URL Format to access your Niagara Station from the web.

https://STATION_ADDRESS/

There are many different ways to view, access, and configure Reflow inside of your Niagara Station. We recommend checking out our Quick Start Guide that goes over getting up and running with Reflow.
